The relation between classroom management and mathematics achievement: A multilevel structural equation model     

Wilhelmina van Dijk  Nicholas A. Gage  Nicolette Grasley‐Boy 《Psychology in the schools》2019,56(7):1173-1186

The impact of teachers on their students’ academic achievement continues to be an area of inquiry. One area not fully explored is the relation between teachers’ behavior and classroom management (CM) skills, student motivation, and student achievement. We examined these relations using a multi‐level structural equation model. Data included Behavior Management subscale scores of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System for 247 fourth and fifth grade teachers, indicators of academic motivation, and end‐of‐year state standardized mathematics assessment results for 4,847 students from the National Center of Teacher Effectiveness Main Study. The results indicate teachers’ CM skills have a significant direct effect on student motivation and a significant indirect effect on students’ math achievement, suggesting that students in classrooms of teachers with better CM are more motivated to learn math and have higher math achievement scores. This underscores the importance of helping teachers increase their use of evidence‐based classroom management techniques.  相似文献   

Participation and exclusion: A comparative analysis of non-traditional students and lifelong learners in higher education     

Hans G. Schuetze  Maria Slowey 《Higher Education》2002,44(3-4):309-327

The dramatic growth in student numbersassociated with the shift from elite to masssystems across virtually all developedcountries is central to current transformationsin terms of structure, purpose, social andeconomic role of higher education. As a part ofthis process of expansion and heterogenization,new groups of students who, for a complex rangeof social, economic and cultural reasons weretraditionally excluded from orunder-represented in higher education, mightbe expected to participate in increasingnumbers. The paper develops the concept ofnon-traditional learners and demonstrateshow an examination of ways in which highereducation systems respond to such learners canprovide a fruitful basis for a comparativeanalysis of change in higher education acrossten countries – Austria, Australia, Canada,Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden,United Kingdom, and the United States. Theprimary emphasis in the study was on theinstitutional and policy issues which appearedto either inhibit or support participation bynon-traditional learners. On this basis sixfactors were identified which seemed to beparticularly influential with regard to theparticipation of non-traditional students andthe associated moves towards a lifelonglearning mode of higher education.The evidence suggests that, while progress canbe reported on a number of dimensions incomparison with a similar analysis ofparticipation by adults students in the samecountries undertaken just over a decadeearlier, high participation rates do notautomatically imply that the functions ofhigher education in social selection andreproduction are obsolete, or that issues ofaccess and equity can be regarded as featuresof the past.  相似文献   

Understanding the Link Between Noncognitive Attributes and College Retention     

Bowman  Nicholas A.  Miller  Annette  Woosley  Sherry  Maxwell  Nicholas P.  Kolze  Mary Jo 《Research in higher education》2019,60(2):135-152

The attention to students’ noncognitive attributes has recently flourished within academic research and public discourse. This paper adds to the literature by examining the interrelationships among several key noncognitive attributes as well as exploring direct and indirect relationships between noncognitive attributes and second-year retention. Within a multi-institutional sample of 10,622 students, academic self-efficacy, academic grit, self-discipline, and time management all load onto a single noncognitive factor with strong inter-item correlations and internal reliability. Moreover, structural equation modeling analyses indicate a sizable and positive indirect effect of noncognitive attributes on college retention, which is mediated by social adjustment, institutional commitment, and college grade point average.

Preliminary Findings of the IEA Reading Literacy Study: New Zealand achievement in the national and international context     

Hans Wagemaker 《教育心理学》1992,12(3-4):195-213

This paper focuses on the preliminary reading literacy test scores for New Zealand, of students in the grade levels where most 9‐ (Standard 3) and 14‐ (Form 4) year‐olds were to be found. In addition to some within country analyses, New Zealand results are compared with the results for the probability samples of students in 32 systems of education which participated in the IEA study of Reading Literacy. Within country comparisons by gender and ethnicity reveal large differences in favour of Pakeha students at both levels, and gender differences in favour of girls particularly at the Standard 3 level. Between country comparisons of results suggest high levels of reading competence among the New Zealand students in the target age groups.  相似文献   

Does Infant Carrying Promote Attachment? An Experimental Study of the Effects of Increased Physical Contact on the Development of Attachment   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Elizabeth Anisfeld  Virginia Casper  Molly Nozyce  Nicholas Cunningham 《Child development》1990,61(5):1617-1627

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that increased physical contact, experimentally induced, would promote greater maternal responsiveness and more secure attachment between infant and mother. Low-SES mothers of newborn infants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 23) that received soft baby carriers (more physical contact) or to a control group (n = 26) that received infants seats (less contact). Using a transitional probability analysis of a play session at 31/2 months, it was demonstrated that mothers in the experimental group were more contingently responsive than control mothers to their infants' vocalizations. When the infants were 13 months old, the Ainsworth Strange Situation was administered. Significantly more experimental than control infants were securely attached to their mothers. We infer from these results that for low-income, inner-city mothers, there may be a causal relation between increased physical contact, achieved through early carrying in a soft baby carrier, and subsequent security of attachment between infant and mother.  相似文献   

Using the Stepped Care Model to Empower University Students With Learning Disabilities     

Justin G. Jacques  Nicholas R. Abel 《Journal of College Counseling》2020,23(1):85-96

Students with learning disabilities face several challenges in postsecondary education settings. The authors explore the issue and shed light on the importance of self‐advocacy for academic success. The stepped care model (SCM) is suggested as an approach to assist college students with learning disabilities in developing these skills and obtaining services. A brief case example from 1 of the authors' work is shared to illustrate the use of the SCM with a student with a learning disability.  相似文献

开放远程教育网上资源库开发的质量保证   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

尼古拉斯·法内斯  宋志勤  张伟远 《中国远程教育(综合版)》2003,(1):31-38

开放远程教育网上资源库的形式多样,并具有多种功能。信息资源不仅可以供学生使用,还能帮助教师、咨询者、研究者、管理者以及政策制定者开发远程教育系统,扩展远程学习机会,以及建设远程课程等。本文集中探讨远程教育信息资源库以及信息来源、信息内容和信息管理的质量问题,并对开放远程教育的定义、院校和课程质量的评估、电子与印刷资料、信息管理等主题进行分析。本研究的结论是,远程教育的资源库、资源服务、网站和数据库形形色色,用户难以获得一致的、权威性的信息和建议,大量的质量不可靠的信息使用户感到迷惑,甚至产生失落感。一些重要的机构已经认识到这一挑战,包括世界银行、英联邦进修组织以及联合国教科文等,它们正在努力开发利用现有的网上服务并联成网络,以便加速教育事业的发展。  相似文献   

The contribution of schooling to learning gains of pupils in Years 1 to 6     

Hans Luyten  Christine Merrell  Peter Tymms 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2017,28(3):374-405

By means of a regression-discontinuity approach with multiple cut-off points, the effects of age and schooling on learning gains in English primary schools are estimated. The analyses relate to over 3,500 pupils in 20, predominantly independently funded, schools and focus on 4 different learning outcomes. In order to take into account delayed and accelerated school careers, an intention-to-treat analysis was applied. The findings reveal substantial effects of schooling, which in line with previous studies in English primary education account for about 40% of the total learning gains. The year-to-year gains show a declining trend as the school career progresses. The analyses produce evidence for both decreasing effects of schooling on achievement and a weakening age?achievement relationship in the higher years of primary education.  相似文献
